    Time for tires

    Anyone try the new Alenza Plus on the Limited. Curious about MPG impact since they are heavier then the Optimos. Time to ditch the Optimos as they are cracked at 36k.

    Remote start issues

    Appears to be battery related, replaced both with fresh set though the spare is never used seems to be working. Suprised these went so quick as I have gotten 2 years out of batteries in other vehicle transmitters with more frequent clicking then this fob gets.

    Remote start issues

    Mine just developed the problem of not being able to remote start this week. Tried the spare remote and same issue you see the lights blink when it locks and hitting the 2X button twice yields no start with eventually going to a beep. Everything was working for a year just like TomTomNJ case...

    Climate Settings With Remote Start

    Cory- Any chance you can find out what the magic temp number is for the systems to work? Would be nice to know that the system is working properly and preclude a dealer visit.

    Climate Settings With Remote Start

    Discovered that the defrost doesn't work as well with auto start, everything is set to auto. Could 2.11 be causing this?

    January MFT update???

    Rumors have been circulating for awhile regarding a major rewrite. My bets are on a mid 1st Qtr release. With all the bad press MFT has been getting they maybe taking there time as 2.11 seems to have band aided the bulk of the problems.

    Explorer A-Pillar Rattle/Noise

    The plastic A-pillars have a rubber strip that lays on top of the windhsield. If you take a look starting from the top down the top seems to be tight as it gets to the bottom the seal gets sloppy I think and allows air to get behind the A-pillar and start the fart sound as many have refferred...

    Guys if you are fed up with the noise and don't want to deal with it and the dealer use some RTV high temp gasket seal. It worked on mine. Its not worth the battle, fix it and move on.
